Mallorca & Wine (English Edition): The Bodegas and Their Stories by Jürgen Mathäß, Thilo Weimar & Wolf Wilder

"Mallorca & Wine: The Bodegas and Their Stories" is a celebration of the island of Mallorca, which over a few decades has become a true paradise for wine enthusiasts and exceptional terroirs.

An Oenological Journey to the Heart of Mallorca

Long known as a popular holiday destination, Mallorca is now also recognized for its viticultural richness. The book traces the impressive evolution of the island, which has grown from 500 hectares of modestly cultivated vineyards in the 1980s to over 3,000 hectares of vines and 100 renowned bodegas.

Thanks to pioneers such as Ferrer, Ribas, and Anima Negra, Mallorca's unique terroirs – with their limestone soils, marls, and iron-rich grounds – have gained worldwide recognition. Today, Mallorcan wines are distinguished by their subtle style and captivate the most demanding palates.

• Jürgen Mathäß, a journalist specializing in wine for over 35 years.
